Look inside billionaire’s $60,000,000 superyacht with a secret pool

A mystery billionaire’s superyacht stirred controversy on TikTok after video of its ‘secret pool’ emerged.

Few people have enough money to choose between swimming in the ocean or bathing in their own private floating pool while sailing the world.

The mystery owner of Leona, a $60,000,000 (£43,000,000) 263ft-long behemoth built by the Turkish-based luxury yacht builder Bilgin, has deep enough pockets for exactly that luxury.

Marble tiles, carved marble panels and Greek statues surround the private indoor pool surrounded by fountains and hidden behind a vertically opening door.

Luxury real estate expert Enes Yilmazer showed off the swanky interior in a video, revealing that the design was masterminded by the superyacht’s billionaire owner, whose identity is not publicly known.

The owner’s representative turned to London-based H2 Yacht Design to create a ‘playfully rich and layered interior’ for the steel-hulled structure, Boat International reported.

James Bermudez, the company’s design director, explained: ‘The interior of Leona uses a bold, opulent palette incorporating a high level of intricate detailing.

‘[There is a] heavy use of decorative finishes and interesting textures: gloss lacquers, backlit onyx, figurative timbers, gold inlays and luxurious textiles are combined throughout. 

‘We learned quickly that the client didn’t react positively to understated design. 

‘He required us to be bold and turn up the volume.’ 

Along with the pool, the yacht is kitted out with a fire pit, aquarium, hookah room, piano bar, and plush red velvet-clad cinema room.

It also has a ‘palatial owner’s suite’, captured in a more comprehensive video filmed by Bilgin.

The suite is complete with a round bathtub, private interior lounge, and a terrace with a spa pool.

Throughout the yacht there are glimpses of marble and gold, mirrors and pieces by fashion designer Roberto Cavalli, known for his fervent use of animal print.
